[align=center][div style="borderwidth; width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14pt;"] Kai is almost shocked by the words Eury spoke.
The last time they had— with the exception of simple passings— he doesn't think that she'd acquired that much wisdom. Either that, or she never shared it with him. He does suppose that seven or so years can change a lot. A lot surely has when it came to him. It's why her words only hold so much substance; he'd rather his life not be exciting if it only meant that complex feelings would follow. It seems as if he never feels things by little, but when he did, it came in drones. Still, his lips quirk into a small smile at her sense of maturity. Eury wasn't so little anymore.
He'd known little about Eury's siblings. They were something she never spoke about, and so, he doesn't think she push further on her comment regarding a dress. There was plenty of hand-me-downs passed from individual to individual. Rarely was there a new dress made , unless one was tattered beyond repair, because there was enough to fill each toddler, each child, each adolescent and so forth. As far as he knows, she could have gotten it from Millie. They were close, weren't they? Kai, in turn, simply nods in acknowledgement.
Her face lights up, blue eyes the size of saucers reflecting in the moonlight as she readily agrees before encouraging him to lead the way. He gives a curt nod , beginning to trek past the quiet houses shared amongst the Others, past the stables and the chickens, until they reached the cattle. His eyes were quick to adjust to the darkness , quick to make out the silhouettes of the cows. Some were asleep, but others heads he could see move just slightly , leaning down to inhale the grass below their feet. Kai wanders several feet ahead of Eury before leaning his weight into the fence, his elbows propped against it.
He's quiet , watching them. Then, he suddenly looks at Eury with an odd look on his face. "Death is only temporary, Eury." He deadpans, reciting the words he'd once said to comfort her about the cows' demise. In three years, he'll by like the cows. He acknowledged this was only the middle , but his stomach still churned at the thought. "What do you think it'll be like?" Afterlife. No one ever really knew besides that it was eternal happiness, with their loved ones in tow. Abaddon only promised the best to those who dedicated loyalty to Him. But Kai hated to admit that he couldn't imagine happiness beyond what he was now. "Or let me reiterate," he turns his back towards the fence, leans against it to properly face her. [color=#800000]"What do you hope it's like?"
